Abstract

An apparatus for stunning of slaughter animals has a driving corridor (1) with a driving gate system, which comprises a driving gate (10), conveyance devices (10a) for mechanical conveyance of the driving gate in the corridor, and control means (11) to control the gate (10) in relation to the walls (12) of the driving corridor. A stunning box (2) is placed in continuation of the driving corridor (1) and it has fixation devices (13) for an animal in the box. The driving gate system is designed to convey the driving gate (10) into the stunning box (2), The fixation of the animal in the box is considerably easier to carry out for the operator than by traditional apparatuses, because the animal is driven all the way forward to a position where it can be fixed. The gate prevents the animal from walking backwards in the box away from the hoops, irrespective of its size.
